Introducing the PRS Tekton Family. An entirely new chapter for Paul Reed Smith.
More than just a new model, the Tekton represents an entirely new family of guitars, purpose-built for modern, technically demanding players. Featuring the thinnest bodies and necks PRS has ever produced in standard production, stainless steel frets, flatter fingerboards, and all-new Stylus pickups engineered for traditional amplifiers and digital rigs alike, the Tekton marks one of the most significant expansions of the PRS lineup in years.
The PRS Tekton Hardtail brings this exciting new platform to life in a sleek, performance-driven 6-string. Finished in the striking Bloodstone Red, this example features a gorgeous Figured Mango top complemented by a Gunmetal back and Satin Black Maple neck. Its sculpted Mahogany body, shallow violin carve, and exaggerated upper-fret access deliver exceptional comfort, while the 25.5" scale length provides a familiar yet incredibly responsive playing experience.
The Maple neck features PRS's new Modern "D" profile, paired with an Ebony fingerboard, 16" radius, 24 Jumbo stainless steel frets, offset dot inlays, and blue Luminlay side dots. The combination delivers effortless playability, precise articulation, and a remarkably comfortable feel, whether you're tackling technical passages or expressive lead work.
Powering the Tekton are the newly developed PRS Stylus pickups. These Alnico 5 humbuckers deliver aggressive, articulate tones with exceptional clarity and dynamic response. Specifically voiced to excel through both traditional amplifiers and modern digital rigs, they offer tight, focused lows, outstanding note separation, and impressive versatility, with push/pull coil-splitting for additional tonal options.
Finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose and appointed with Smoked Black hardware, PRS Phase III locking tuners, and a PRS Hardtail bridge, the Tekton delivers exceptional tuning stability, resonance, and precision.
A bold new direction for PRS, built for the next generation of players.
